Should we see another version of the Brexit from nations such as Italy, France or Sweden, the market crash that happened last week may pale in comparison.

Meanwhile, while last week’s collapse of equity markets were making most of the news, gold went on an upwards run. And should things get worse, as many leading analysts are predicting, this flight to safety may just be a trial run.

In an interview with CNBC, Greenspan made a number of interesting comments: “(The) British problem is far more widespread”… “euro currency is the immediate problem” … “There’s a certain amount that monetary policy can do, but our problem is fundamentally fiscal” …

Famed investor Jim Rogers agrees, saying, “This is going to be worse than any bear market you’ve seen in your lifetime.” And he adds, “There are not many sound currencies left anymore… They’ve all been ruined by politicians.”

Typically the precious metal and USD experience a seesaw relationship; when one goes up the other down. But this is a rare occasion when both have strengthened together. Yet unfortunately, to Grant Williams, this is “a sign we are at a point of critical stress.”

Despite this point of “critical stress”, there is some potential silver lining. For those of us in the United States, we still have a chance to get into gold before the crisis comes knocking on our door.

Just as Brits were stockpiling gold prior to the Brexit vote — which has turned out to be a genius move — so can you do the same right now. And for all we know, this may be your last chance before the price takes off.
